Owens Corning TruDef Duration Shingles - Advanced Nail Techniques


TruDefinition® Duration® Shingles are specially formulated to provide greater contrast and dimension to any roof. Through the use of multiple granule colors and shadowing, TruDefinition® Duration® Shingles offer a truly unique and dramatic effect. The exclusive combination of color and depth is what makes TruDefinition® Duration® Shingles like no other.

TruDefinition® Duration® Shingles are available in popular colors with bold, lively contrast and complementing shadow lines for greater dimension. They feature a Limited Lifetime Warranty*, 130-MPH Wind Resistance Limited Warranty*, and an Algae Resistance Limited Warranty.* Beyond the outstanding curb appeal and impressive warranty coverage, they also come with the advanced performance of patented SureNail® Technology.

The SureNail® Difference — A technological breakthrough in roofing. The innovative features of Owens Corning™ TruDefinition Duration Shingles with patented SureNail Technology offer the following:
  • Breakthrough Design. Featuring a tough, woven engineered reinforcing fabric to deliver consistent fastening during installation.
  • Triple Layer Protection.™ A unique “triple layer” of reinforcement occurs when the fabric overlays the common bond of the shingle laminate layers that offers excellent fastener holding power.
  • Superior Adhesion. Our enhanced Tru-Bond®‡ sealant grips tightly to the engineered fabric nailing strip on the shingle below.
  • Excellent Adhesive Power. Specially formulated, wide adhesive bands help keep shingle layers laminated together.
  • Exceptional Wind Resistance. The industry’s first asphalt roofi ng shingle engineered to deliver 130-MPH* wind warranty performance with only 4 nails. 33% fewer nails are required for maximum warranty protection,1 which can mean fewer deck penetrations.

PART 3: EXECUTION

3.1EXAMINATION

A.Prior to starting work, examine all roof decks on which work is to be applied for defects in materials and workmanship which may be detrimental to the proper installation or long-term performance of the shingles.

B. Do not begin installation until the roof deck has been properly prepared.

3.2PREPARATION

A.Remove all existing roofing down to the roof deck. Recommended roof decks are 6" maximum width, 25/32" minimum thickness wood sheathing, 3/8" minimum thickness Exposure 1 grade plywood sheathing or 7/16" minimum thickness non-veneer structural panels (oriented strand board panels or waferboard panels). Deck spacing cannot exceed¼” between roof boards or

betweens plywood or OSB sheathing. Use plywood decking and non-veneer structural panels recommended by the American Plywood Association, and local building codes.

B.Verify that the deck is dry, sound, clean and smooth. It shall be free of any depressions, waves, and projections. Cover with sheet metal, all holes over 1 inch (25 mm) in diameter, cracks over 1/2 inch (12 mm) in width, loose knots and excessively resinous areas.

C.Replace damaged deck with new materials.

D.Clean deck surfaces thoroughly prior to installation of eaves protection membrane and underlayment.

E.Install crickets on the upslope side of all chimneys in the north, any chimney wider than 24”, and on all roofs steeper than 6/12.

F.Verify that the deck is structurally sound and free of deteriorated decking. All deteriorated decking shall be removed and replaced with new materials.

G.Verify that the existing shingles are dry, sound, clean and smooth. All curled, buckled or loose tabs shall be nailed down or removed.

3.3INSTALLATION

A.Installation shall be in accordance with the instructions published by Owens Corning and your local building codes.

B.Product styles and colors change over time, for current selection of products and colors in your area please contact your Owens Corning representative.

C.Owens Corning strives to accurately reproduce the images of shingles in this literature. However, due to manufacturing variances, the limitation of graphic reproduction and the variation in natural exterior lighting, actual shingle colors, and granule blends may vary from the images you see reproduced in this literature. For this reason, it is important to see an actual roofing sample or actual products installed on a home before making final color selection.

D.*See actual warranty for complete details.

3.4UNDERLAYMENT APPLICATION

General

A.Install using methods recommended by OWENS CORNING in accordance with local building codes. When local codes and application instructions are in conflict, the more stringent requirements shall take precedence.

Eaves In areas where there has been a history of ice forming along the eaves causing a backup, an ice barrier must extend 24 inches inside the exterior wall line of the building

A.In the north, and on all roofs between 2/12 and 4/12 (low slopes) install WeatherLock® eaves protection membrane up the slope from eaves edge a full 36 inches or to at least 24 inches (610

mm) beyond the interior “warm wall”. Lap ends 6 inches (150 mm).

Valleys

A.Install WeatherLock® at least 36 inches wide and centered on the valley. Lap ends 6 inches (150 mm) and seal.

B.Where valleys are indicated to be "open valleys", install metal flashing over eaves protection membrane before roof deck underlayment is installed; DO NOT nail through the flashing. Secure

the flashing by nailing at 18 inches (457 mm) on center just beyond edge of flashing so that nail heads hold down the edge.

Roof Deck

A.On roofs sloped at more than 4 in 12, lap horizontal edges at least 2 inches (5 mm) and at least 2 inches (5 mm) over eaves protection membrane. . Lap ends at least 4 inches (10 mm). End laps in succeeding course should be located at least 6’ from end laps in the preceding course.

B.On roofs sloped between 2 in 12 to under 4 in 12, see application instruction printed on each shingle wrapper.

C.Lap underlayment over valley protection at least 6 inches (150 mm).

Penetrations

A.Vent pipes: Install a 24 inch (610 mm) square piece of eaves protection membrane lapping over roof deck underlayment; seal tightly to pipe.

B.Vertical walls: Install eaves protection membrane extending at least 3-4 inches (76-102 mm) up the wall and 12 inches (305 mm) on to the roof surface. Lap the membrane over the roof deck underlayment.

C.Chimneys: Install eaves protection membrane around entire chimney extending at least 6 inches (150 mm) up the wall and 12 inches (305 mm) on to the roof surface. Lap the membrane over the roof deck underlayment.
